Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 2/10/2017. Pours clear nearly opaque dark brown color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, dark bread, light nuttiness/smoke, herbal, floral, wood, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Slight yeast fruitiness as well. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, dark bread, light nuttiness/smoke, herbal, floral, wood, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted biscuit, dark bread, herbal, floral, wood, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from hop/roast bitterness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.6%. Overall this is a very nice American porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Great malt complexity with nice supporting hop flavors; without being too roasty, bitter, or drying. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Coffee, chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with small tan head. Moderately sweet chocolate syrup, coffee, malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Good body. Decent.

Bottle. Weedy hay and toffee malt aroma. Amber with small head. Mildly sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter weedy grass flavor. Okay body. A tad harsh.

Bottle: Cloudy amber with a thin white head. Bready, caramel scent. Taste is sickly-sweet orange malt, caramel malt..... Bready, piney... Pronounced leafy bitter.....not a good balance with the initial sweetness.

Bottle: Almost clear amber with a thin, off-white head. Slightly nutty, caramel malt aroma. Taste is fairly rich caramel malt, a slight bit of smoke/toasted malt, nuts. Nicely bodied.....I thought it was a good, tasty example to style.

Bottle. Orange caramel malt and metallic grapefruit peel flavor. Hazy golden yellow with giant cream colored head. Moderately sweet orange, light caramel malt, and mildly bitter tinny grapefruit peel flavor. Okay body.

Bottle: Hazy, orange-gold with a tall, light beige head. Orange, pineapple scent. Taste is juicy....orange malt, a bit of resin and orange-peel. Pretty nice....a good sweet to bitter range.

Bottle. Creamy barley malt and hay aroma. Pale yellow with large white head. Mildly sweet creamy barley malt and mildly bitter hay flavor. Nice body. Very good.

Bottle. Sour milk, orange, caramel malt, weedy grass, and orange peel aroma. Amber with moderate but short lasting head. Mildly sweet orange, caramel malt, and mildly bitter weedy grass/orange peel flavor. Okay body.

Tap at the brewery. Black of course. Very heavy roast and aome coffee and dark choco, and this is also very sweet for the style. Lots of sugar, lactose possibly, at least.that is what it tastes like to me.
